Petit Dejeuner
$30 Prix Fix Three Courses

Le Petit Dejeuner
191 King St E, Toronto, ON M5A1J5, CA

Actually once you get past the spelling mistakes on the web page you will see that it's $45 for the prix fixe and $30 for pairing wines.....

[Mila]

Actually, I was there last Friday and had it for $30 which was the price listed on the menu. Not perfect, but a good vibe, better than average food with a few standouts.

[Food Tourist]

I wonder if it's better tasting (and value) than Toba. Petit Dejeuner irks me at brunch time. What were the standouts?

[Mila]

Belgian Waffles
Crispy Fries & Mayo
Roast Chicken Special

Not a destination but great for a relaxing evening.

Actually, you will see that $45 for valentines day. It's regularly $30.

Vittorio's on Avenue has got a $25 prix fixe menu they're calling "V-Licious" -

[JamieK]

wow! a link! I'm impressed. ;->

[millygirl]

Just for you JamieK :) Now if I can only figure out how to attach a previous thread. Been doing my homework but can't seem to figure that one out.

[pinstripeprincess]

find the thread you want to link to, copy the url form up top then just drop it straight into the text box. it'll auto link it for you.

[millygirl]

okay this is where I show how computer savvy I really am not. Sorry but where/what is the url form up top??? many thanks pinstripeprincess.

[JamieK]

It's all the stuff you should see after "address" or in some section at or near the top of your screen. So for instance, for this very thread, you should see
http://www.chowhound.com/topics/482516
somewhere above. You just highlight, copy and then paste where you want.

[millygirl]

Thing is I don't see any of that stuff anywhere above. You mean you see a number for each topic?

[pescatarian]

Millygirl, when you go to Chowhound or any websited, the address bar is where you type in "chowhound.com". This is where the address/url is for each Chowhound topic. You click on it, highlight it and copy and paste.
If you can't see the address, you may have to adjust your windows settings. If you go to the top right of your screen where the grey area is, right click with your mouse you should be able to see if "Address Bar" is checked off, if ti's not checked, check it off and then you should be able to see the address/url.

[millygirl]

Duh!!!! Thanks very much pescatarian....I finally get it. I wasn't even looking up there, only within the chowhound screen. Yeesh.

[pescatarian]

lol, glad to help!

[JamieK]

The other thing (sorry, I know this is probably information overload) is to search for a place link using a stripped-version of the restaurant name, and then be sure to use the "Chow Place" version. So, in this case, a search for 'Pastis' should have come up with the already existing place link as a "Chow Place" -

Have you eaten there, JamieK?

[JamieK]

you mean Vittorio's? No, but I'd like to try it when I get the chance. I came across the V-Licious as I was trolling websites and thought it was a cute take on the whole 'licious thing.

[Food Tourist]

I think the question to ask is, "Where can I get a tasty prix fixe or multi-course menu year-round for $35 or less?" Otherwise we could just list most restaurants in Toronto whether or not they offer good value, like Bymark, North 44, Le Paradis, Via Allegro, Colborne Lane, Kultura, Lucien, George, JKWB, Cava, Foxley, Lai Wah Heen, upscale Japanese, various steakhouses, etc.

I'm intrigued and surprised to see just about all the other big names on the 'licious list this year.

No licious at L'Unita. Here's a recent thread with comments

Also it looks like Chiado, Starfish, Rain, Amuse-Bouche and Caren's Wine Bar are licious-free too.

Le Select has opted out this year. On website it says "NO Winterlicious - Peace and quiet free with every meal, same attractive prices all year long"

"Peace and quiet free with every meal?" That may explain why patrons are left alone for unreasonable lengths of time and the wait staff are nowhere to be seen. I'll forgo the peace and quiet for some decent service, thank you.

Attractive prices? For what, crap? Because that seems to be all they serve.

Thanks for opting out, Le Select. You've saved people time and money better spent elsewhere.
